Did you know that RVR has over 38,000 irrigation heads in the community system with 47 miles of underground pipe?

We always welcome reports from homeowners to make us aware of irrigation issues that we can focus on. When making reports please be sure to add as much detail as possible.

Email irrigation@rvrma.org to report irrigation issues. If there is an emergency, contact the front desk at 970.963.6300

Garden in a box is a product of resourcecentral.org. Its mission is conservation made easy.

Elaine Grossman and Polly Whitcomb, pictured left, planted a collection called Colorado Oasis, a collection of drought resistant Colorado native plants at their Boundary residences. Each box comes with detailed instructions on Planting and maintenance, as well as a plant-by-number design graph. The collection is also designed to attract bees and birds throughout the year!

As a kind reminder, RVR does not regulate annuals or perennials, but many projects that include landscape installation, tree planting & removal, raised garden beds and more will require approval. We ask that owners please fill out and submit a Home Improvement Application form for these requests.

We’ve noticed some kiddos playing tag and other similar games on the tennis courts. As a reminder, the tennis courts are strictly for tennis use with proper footwear and attire required. Thank you for helping us keep our beautiful clay courts in good condition.

Now that kids are out of school for summer break, we are seeing many youngsters traveling through the community and participating in outdoor activities throughout the day. Homeowners can expect to see children that would normally be in schools on bikes, skateboards or walking on paths in the community.

As a kind reminder, The posted speed limit throughout RVR is 20 mph. Please help our RVR kiddos stay safe!

Parents, please remind your youngsters to practice safe travel and remember to always encourage your child to wear a helmet regardless of the distance traveled or how experienced they are!

Antlers are one of the most extravagant additions to an animal. Deer, elk, and moose put a lot of energy into growing their antlers each year for prospective females during mating season and as defensive tools. When these animals shed their antlers each year, these abandoned crowns are prized by shed hunters. To protect the animals and their habitats, Colorado Parks and Wildlife prohibits shed hunting on public land west of I-25 from January 1 to April 30. Reducing human disturbances in the winter helps these animals survive harsh conditions until things get easier in the spring. There's nothing wrong with collecting these trophies. But better yet, if you see fallen antlers, leave them there. Antlers can be a nutritious meal for other animals. Coyotes, foxes, and even bears enjoy these chew toys. But rodents such as chipmunks, marmots, and squirrels are the biggest fans of these sheds for their dental needs: gnawing the antlers helps wear down their ever-growing teeth.

On Wednesday, June 19 the RVR hiking group will hike an out and back trail in Redstone (go as far as you like). East Creek or alternate Perham Creek (if East is too muddy). Lunch in the town of Redstone after the hike for anyone interested!

 Look for more hiking dates in upcoming mailings!

The RVR Theatre Group will be attending Thunder River’s production of POTUS: or, Behind Every Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, which runs from June 14 through June 30. RVR Homeowners who would like to join the group are welcome! 

Contact either Kassidy Birdsong at kassidy.birdsong@gmail.com or Fredda Korber at fredda.korber@gmail.com if you are interested.

The vote on the proposed special assessment has concluded and the majority of the community has voted in favor of the initiative.

 The vote results are as follows:

In order to pass, we needed a simple majority of “Yes” votes, with at least 60% of all properties participating (to meet a quorum).  We have exceeded the quorum threshold with 69% of all properties participating in the vote. 66% of voters authorized the special assessment, representing a majority. As a result, the special assessment is hereby authorized.

The approved special assessment amount is $5,500 per lot or unit. Please note that the collection of this assessment is being carried out through a separate invoice, which has been sent to your email on record with the HOA. The invoice will come to you directly from RVR's QuickBooks account. The invoice will have information regarding payment details inclusive of auto-pay options. You will have the option to make either a partial payment (1/2 of the assessment) or the full payment on or before October 1, 2024. If you are splitting up the payment, the second half of the amount owed is due on or before August 1, 2025. However, we want to emphasize that you are free to make the payment at any time that is convenient for you before the due date.
